This was my first Christian History book when I was home school.

This book shares the lives of Jedediah Smith, Elijah Lovejoy, Sojourner Truth (also known as Isabelle), Joseph Brant-Thayendangea, and Clara Barton.

I would encourage anyone to add this to their little library of books, or whatever collection you may have.
